With some other drugs, like oxicodone,(
Percocet),
refills are not an option and the prescription needs to be picked up in person, and written by the doc on every occasion.
I am even wondering if most patients even know that there are better and stronger drugs available for pain control than Advil, or Tylenol.
Of course, unless the situation becomes more advanced, most patients do not need every day use of narcotics, and it's not the best idea, either.
